Ive been wanting one for awhile . Finally got around to making one , 42 inches long . Build using basic shop tools ,grinder . drill press welder .

Nice! Can't tell - does it hinge open on one side?

No , I don.t expect to roll anything that tight . I can unbolt the ends fairly easy if its ever needed

I'd only own one that opens up. Used to use one at my former employer and could never go back. But they're not cheap and I imagine yours was far more budget friendly. Good job

Ya , I have less that a hundres bucks into this , using some scrap i had laying around . just need to get some iron and build a stand . and a 1/2 link to shorten the chain

Those sawhorses look pretty nice.

I'd be interested in more details of your build.

I have great respect for people that remember to take pictures during a build . sadly im not one . a quick rundown is that the rollers are made from 1.315 hollow round tubin . a 5/8 nut would just slip in snug , so i drilled out the threads . 6 nuts per roller , 5/8 cold rolled shaft . the end plates are 3/4 plate . i bored the holes for the bearings with a 1 3/16 hole saw
